SOLVED: Djetset #327 - 1:1.75 scale Ferrari 250 GTO by Carrozzeria Allegretti of Modena

[Djetset]

I'm going straight to the Pros with this one, as I don't know what it is!  If anyone (Pros or otherwise) can provide proof of its identification, a point will be gratefully awarded.

I only know two things about this Ferrari 250 GTO 'replica;' one is when and where this photo was taken, and the second is what engine/mechanical base it uses.

[Arunas]

American? Datsun-based? Sorry, two questions...

[Djetset]

Don't know if it's American, but assume that it's not as the photo was taken in Europe.  However, I do know that it is definately NOT Datsun Fairlady Z-based.

[Arunas]

Shouldn't there be three vents on the hood?

[Djetset]

Normally on a GTO, or an accurate replica, there should be three vents.   However, I might be able to guess (although I can't be 100% sure) as to why this one has no vents at all on the hood/bonnet.

  Not based on a beetle is it?

[Paul Jaray]

..or a Porsche? (can't be can't be can't be.....)

[Djetset]

No, it's not based around a Beetle or Porsche, but the base car is rear-engined!

[gilescooperuk]

Based on a rear-engined ferrari??

[Octavia]

A Renault Alpine

[Djetset]

No, none of the above.

[Allemano]

[Djetset]

Getting closer, but not that.

[guido66]

Skoda?

[Allemano]

the base is Italian?

[Djetset]

Si, the base is Italian, although I'm not certain if the car itself is.

[Allemano]

another Fiat model?

[Djetset]

Yes.

[Octavia]

Fiat 133 ?

[Djetset]

Isn't that Spanish (sort of)?  Anyway, not the 133.

[guido66]

X1/9?

[Djetset]

No.

[Octavia]

126

[metalshapes]

Fiat 500?

[Djetset]

Metalshapes has got the correct base, which is a Fiat 500.  Now, can you tell me anything more about it?
